All your poker guru's have a theory. Let's break that down. Theory- mental viewing, contemplation, a speculative idea or plan as to how something might be done. yes, speculative- uncertain, risky. Yes I get it now, a uncertain, risky idea or plan as to how something might be done. A formulation of apparent relationships or underlying principles of certain observed phenomena, which has been verified to some degree. verified to some degree, sounds like a guess. So your poker guru's have a guess as how to play the game. and myself have over 50yrs playing the game.

what's your point?
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Although it does help, experience does not determine skill.


Girlfriend:
Why are the werewolves more important than living life?!

Girlfriend:
Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend:
Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

Yes, we have theories based on math over millions, maybe billions, of hands if we all combine.

Scientists also have theories based on math over incredibly huge sample sizes to determine the mysteries, "phenomena", of nature- now believed as laws of physics and chemistry.

You have over 50 years, good for you. You played poker everyday, all day, for 50 years? I'm guessing not. There are people here who do play poker for a living- all day, everyday-8 or more tables at once. They have seen a hell of a lot poker than you. And if they have a way that has made them a load of money, then I will try to learn from them how they do. I will learn their "theories" because they are proven, again through math, for an incredibly large sample size.

I think there's a line from Billy Madison that works well here...
"Been gone so long, forgot how to poker"

No chance this is some regular, banned, moron from the past. This guy has a brain, a warped, deviant, vindictive brain. He's either 2+2 or just an FTR leveler, probably someone still active, on a downswing maybe, but active.

Either way, he needs to be banned for spreading propaganda.
